The Bachelorette's Katie Thurston Discovers Secret Envelope During Her Date in New Clip

As seen in E! News' exclusive The Bachelorette promo for the upcoming episode, Katie Thurston opens a secret envelope in the middle of her one-on-one date.

Katie Thurston puts pressure on one of her suitors after opening a surprise envelope during the upcoming episode of The Bachelorette. 

As seen in E! News’ exclusive promo for the episode that airs on Monday, July 5, the Bachelorette goes on a one-on-one date with Andrew Spencer. Andrew has become a fan favorite after defending Katie’s ability to make her own decisions in light of the Thomas drama on the most recent episode.

In the clip, the standout from Matt James‘ season of The Bachelor surprises Andrew by plugging in a string of lights that reveal a number of secret envelopes hanging just out of reach from the tree branches. She then reads from a note informing the couple that each envelope “contains something that will bring you closer together.”

After getting a boost from the football player to grab the first message, she shares its message aloud. “Would you rather tell the truth and hurt your partner, or lie and not hurt your partner?” Katie asks while reading from the card.

Andrew instantly responds that he’d rather tell the truth, which leads Katie to put him in a situation that might cause him to doubt his decision. “Does this make me look fat?” she asks, and he follows up with, “No! Shut up!”

Former Victoria's Secret Model Bridget Malcolm Slams Brand While Recalling Personal Struggles

Ex-Victoria's Secret Model Bridget Malcolm released a scathing video criticizing the retailer, using a bra from a 2016 fashion show to to show how underweight she was allegedly pressured to become.

Watch: Tyra Banks Calls Victoria’s Secret Rebrand a “Beauty Revolution”

Former Victoria’s Secret model Bridget Malcolm has criticized the retailer’s recent brand makeover in a scathing video, in which she uses one of their bras to demonstrate how underweight she was allegedly pressured to become to walk in one of its annual fashion shows.

The 29-year-old made her comments on TikTok on Sunday, June 27, more than a week after the lingerie and apparel group ended its “Angels” brand, represented by its top models such as Adriana Lima, Behati Prinsloo and Candice Swanepoel, and announced a new roster of women as the public faces of the group, including soccer star Megan Rapinoe, actress Priyanka Chopra and plus-size model Paloma Elsesser.

“Victoria’s Secret,” Malcolm said, “your performative ally ship is a joke.”

In her video, captioned, “too little too late Victoria’s Secret,” the model demonstrated how underweight she was when she took part in the 2016 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show, her second and final overall. In the clip, she tries on a size 30A lace white Victoria’s Secret bra that she wore at the event.

“I am now a size 34B,” said the 5-foot-11-inch model, “which is healthy for me.”

She continued, “I was rejected from the show in 2017 by Ed Razek. He said ‘my body did not look good enough.'”

Razek served as marketing chief of Victoria’s Secret’s parent company L Brands from 1983 until his retirement in 2019. He could not be reached for comment and a rep for Victoria’s Secret had no immediate remarks about Bridget’s video when reached by E! News.

Malcolm continued, “I wore a size 30B at that point. Look how big it was on me. The sadness behind my eyes from the 2016 show breaks my heart.”

Victoria’s Secret’s recent brand makeover comes amid years of growing criticism of the retailer and changing attitudes about beauty standards and representation of women. In 2019, Razek left L Brands and the annual Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show was canceled.

In 2020, Victoria’s Secret came under criticism again after The New York Times published an article about allegations of misogyny, bullying and harassment within the group. Razek told the newspaper the accusations described in the report were “categorically untrue, misconstrued or taken out of context.”

But a rep for L Brands did not dispute the reporting. They told The New York Times that the company “is intensely focused” on corporate governance, workplace and compliance practices and that it had “made significant strides.” The rep added, “We regret any instance where we did not achieve this objective and are fully committed to continuous improvement and complete accountability.”

Malcolm’s video is one of several she has posted in recent weeks in which she criticizes the fashion industry. In a TikTok clip shared on Tuesday, June 29, the model responded to fans’ questions about why she did not speak out sooner. She detailed her mental health struggles following past traumas—including being “sexually assaulted multiple times”—and experiencing pressure to meet modeling beauty standards.

She said she had been “told to do cocaine to lose weight” by people involved in her career. Bridget also said, “I’ve been told whilst I was underage to just have lots of sex to lose weight.”

“I was struggling with my gender identity,” she continued. “I’d developed anorexia and orthorexia and anxiety and depression. I couldn’t socialize without drinking and was developing quite the reliance on Xanax and Ambien in order to get me through the night. And that was before I turned 18.”

Malcolm said that on her 26th birthday, she suffered a “nervous breakdown,” adding, “I couldn’t leave my house for a year without panic attacks and severe anxiety. I also had a bout with suicidal ideations, which was terrifying. That was four years ago.”

“Today,” she said, “I am two-plus years sober. I’m four years in recovery from an eating disorder. I’m happy. I’m balanced and I’m strong and I feel the best I’ve ever felt. The reality is, I couldn’t talk about my experiences before I reached this point because I would have intense PTSD flashbacks, I would have panic attacks and I wouldn’t be OK. But I am OK now and that’s why I’m speaking out.”

The model continued, “The only reason why I am doing this is because I am a strong believer that the fashion industry needs to change. I am one of the lucky models. I was able to make a long career out of the fashion industry. My job should not include abuse and that is why I’m speaking out now.”

Sonja Morgan Reveals Details About Her Previous Secret Romance With Ryan Serhant

RHONY's Sonja Morgan shocked Andy Cohen by divulging that she previously dated Million Dollar Listing New York star Ryan Serhant.

Watch: Sonja Morgan Surprising Andy Cohen at GLAAD Media Awards

Sonja Morgan just blew Andy Cohen‘s mind with her revelation about a years-ago relationship with a fellow Bravolebrity. 

During the 57-year-old The Real Housewives of New York City star’s visit to Watch What Happens Live on Tuesday, June 29, the host asked Sonja if Ryan Serhant or Southern Charm‘s Shep Rose had “more big dick energy.” Much to Andy’s surprise, Sonja revealed she actually had history with the Million Dollar Listing New York star. 

“I dated Ryan before he got married,” Sonja replied. This led a stunned Andy to confirm, “You dated Ryan?”

She explained, “We went to [the Human Rights Campaign] event. It was a humanity event, so I felt I needed to kiss him to be a humane person.”

When Andy asked where they went after the party, the reality TV mainstay replied, “Actually, he went this way, and I went that way. It’s fine.”

However, when the host concluded that they only kissed, Sonja corrected him by sharing, “We did a few things else, I mean afterwards—we went on other dates.” She then quipped, “He was a newbie—he didn’t know how dangerous it was.”

Although the revelation clearly startled Andy, this actually wasn’t the first time Sonja has dished about the surreptitious relationship with the real estate agent, who tied the knot with Emilia Bechrakis in July 2016. Back in February 2012, Sonja told the website Rumor Fix that she was dating a pre-fame Ryan at the time, prior to the MDLNY premiere in March 2012.

A Botched Patient's Secret Silicone Butt Puts Her Whole Life Into Question

Drs. Paul Nassif and Terry Dubrow also met with a woman who compared her "lumpy nose" to Owen Wilson's signature beak and a proud 24-year-old with "anime tits." Get all the details.

Secrets definitely can hurt someone. In this case, it’s a Botched patient’s rear end! 

Tonight’s episode on June 29 proved it’s sometimes better to be upfront about surgery. From a woman who underwent a “lumpy” nose job without her mother knowing to a wife whose own husband wasn’t aware of her new silicone rear end and a daughter seeking an “anime” physique, Drs. Paul Nassif and Terry Dubrow got to the root of these patients’ past painful plastic surgery mishaps. 

Yuliana underwent multiple surgeries including gastric bypass and a Brazilian butt lift while in her native Colombia, but a “discount doctor” ruined her hopes of a “Jennifer Lopez butt.” Instead of J.Lo, Yuliana’s “mutilated” behind certainly was hanging low once her silicone injections were removed and her new implants migrated onto her hips instead of her rear end cheeks. 

“I’m a prisoner of my butt,” Yuliana heartbreakingly explained.

During a consultation with Drs. Nassif and Dubrow, Yuliana admitted she felt “ashamed” for her past secret procedures that put a strain onto her marriage.

Dr. Dubrow revealed that Yuliana’s case was “challenging” and her behind might be more “deflated” once the implants are removed. 

“I’m thinking to myself, I don’t even want to examine her,” he confessed to the camera. “I’m hoping that I can find something that I can hang my surgical hat on so I can give her some kind of normal cosmetic appearance.”

Dr. Dubrow suggested rotating her “love handle fat” down into her butt to give Yuliana’s behind more volume and projection.

E!

Yet, Dr. Dubrow still estimated the success rate of any surgery would only be between five and 25 percent. “But there’s a chance,” Dr. Dubrow added.

Yuliana cried, “There’s hope, yes.”

Once in the surgery room, Dr. Dubrow realized that one fat flap was still intact. “I’m hoping it’ll do something, at least a little bit, to restore normal body contour,” he noted of “the art of flap surgery,” joking that “the problem is my canvas isn’t very good.”

Yuliana’s “labor-intensive” case ultimately was a success—even though she still had silicone left in her butt. “We came, we saw, we kicked its ass…literally,” Dr. Dubrow summed up.

Since Yuliana’s past “complete moron” of a doctor put the implants under her muscles, Yuliana most likely was in pain due to major nerve damage along her legs. Now, thankfully she is free of any silicone or implants—and she still has a cute butt! 

E!

“It looks great, Dr. Dubrow!” Yuliana gushed during the post-operation exam. “I like it. Even though it’s not Jennifer Lopez’s butt, it’s still my butt, and I have one. I am speechless. I can only just cry.”

Yuliana also tried to rekindle her marriage. “Being a Colombian woman, you always need to have the perfect body,” she reflected. “It put a lot of stress on our marriage…I love how I look. It’s not a big butt but it looks natural and it fits my body perfectly.” 

Seems like Yuliana and her husband are dancing their way into a happy life together!

The episode also featured Karla, a 24-year-old who sought an “anime figure” and has found surgery “very empowering” over the years. “Hell yeah, I’m fake!” she proudly stated. Dr. Nassif later treated Brittnie after a wrong nose job left her with a “lumpy” profile.

Gigi Hadid Reveals the Family Beauty Secret She'll Pass Down to Daughter Khai

Gigi Hadid shares the beauty tip her mother, Yolanda Hadid, taught her, which she "for sure" plans to pass on to her and Zayn Malik's daughter Khai.

Gigi Hadid has a lot to offer her and Zayn Malik‘s daughter Khai.

The 26-year-old model has a wealth of experience and knowledge, which she has gained from walking the runways and traveling the globe over the years. And as she savors the new chapter in her life, the mom is already thinking about the lessons she’ll teach her baby girl, like her family’s belief that less is more. 

“I think I’ll teach Khai to keep it simple when it comes to makeup, like my mom [Yolanda Hadid] taught me,” Gigi tells Harper’s Bazaar, adding “there’s a few” more tips she will “for sure” pass on to her little one. 

Gigi shares that her model mother was relatively hands off when it came to her beauty routine, explaining, “My mom never really gave me advice on, like, what to do with my skincare or makeup, but I definitely watched her enough to learn.”

“She had a very simple, natural take on skincare. She didn’t overdo it with product, and I feel like I’ve taken that on, where I think less is more,” the star says. “Doing too much for my skin or beauty routine can make it more complicated, and sometimes my skin can’t handle it.”

But simplicity doesn’t equate to monotony. The model, who appears in a commercial for Ralph Lauren’s new fragrance Ralph’s Club, says she changes her beauty and fragrance routine based on her mood, saying, “I have certain ones that I always go back to, but I’m definitely open to try new ones. But also during the day, I tend to wear lighter fragrances or mix. Then at night is when I like to bring out the stronger, deeper, more complex scents.”

When Gigi is on “mom duty full-time,” she says she keeps her routine to “the necessities,” which includes face wash, moisturizer, lotion and a spritz of perfume. 

She admits motherhood is different from what she’s used to, but it’s entirely worth it. “It’s all my favorite, even if it gets hard at times. You have so much patience and unconditional love that comes with motherhood,” Gigi shares. “It’s just fun to watch her grow and learn every day. And she makes me so proud. It’s funny how even the smallest things are exciting.”

Victoria's Secret Model Martha Hunt Is Pregnant With Her First Baby

Martha Hunt has a baby on the way!

The 32-year-old model, who frequented the Victoria’s Secret runway over the years, shared some big personal news on Friday, June 18: She’s pregnant. 

“Full heart growing belly,” she captioned an Instagram photo of herself in a bikini, revealing her growing bump. This will be the first child for the runway star, who confirmed her engagement to her photographer boyfriend Jason Mcdonald in January 2020. 

Of course, Hunt is not the only one happy about this sweet baby news. On Instagram, the mom-to-be was showered with love and well wishes from friends and fellow stars like Queer Eye‘s Antoni Porowski and Gigi Hadid. 

As Porowski fittingly commented, “Sugar lemon crêpes to celebrate !!!”

Hadid, a new mom herself, added, “MAMA CONGRATULATIONS ANGELS @marthahunt & @j_mcd lucky lucky baby.”

It seems to be the era of the model baby boom because a handful of catwalk queens have announced pregnancies and welcomed little ones within the past year and beyond, among them Elsa Hosk and Devon Windsor.

Victoria’s Secret Officially Ends Its Angels Era for Brand Overhaul Led By Priyanka Chopra, Megan Rapinoe

Victoria’s Secret is ditching its "Angels" for "The VS Collective," a newly announced group of celebrity activists that will "rally" around important causes and create products for the lingerie label.

Watch: It’s Official: Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show Is Cancelled

Don’t call them angels, but Priyanka Chopra and Megan Rapinoe are among the newest faces of Victoria’s Secret.

The embattled lingerie brand, which cancelled its famed fashion show in 2019, unveiled a new roster of stars who will represent Victoria’s Secret under its revamped marketing model. Per The New York Times, the Victoria’s Secret Angels are no more.

In their place, the brand launched two initiatives, dubbed The VS Collective and The Victoria’s Secret Global Fund for Women’s Cancers, on Wednesday, June 16.

The first is described as “an ever-growing group of accomplished women who share a common passion to drive positive change,” per the company’s press release. “Through social, cultural and business relationships, The VS Collective will work to create new associate programs, revolutionary product collections, compelling and inspiring content, and rally support for causes vital to women.”

Inaugural members of the VS Collective are models, activists, athletes and artists from around the world, including Rapinoe, the pink-haired U.S. soccer champ, and Chopra, the Baywatch actress who married Nick Jonas in 2018.

Also joining are South Sudanese-Australian model Adut Akech; Los Angeles-based photographer Amanda de Cadenet; Chinese skier Eileen Gu; British model and body activist Paloma Elsesser; and Brazilian model Valentina Sampaio, who made headlines in 2019 for reportedly becoming Victoria Secret’s first transgender model. 

“At Victoria’s Secret, we are on an incredible journey to become the world’s leading advocate for women,” said CEO Martin Waters in a statement on June 16. He called the new program “a dramatic shift” for VS, adding, “It’s a shift that we embrace from our core. These new initiatives are just the beginning. We are energized and humbled by the work ahead of us.”

The Victoria Secret Collective

But, as The New York Times claimed, “It is a stark change for a brand that not only long sold lingerie in the guise of male fantasy, but has also been scrutinized heavily in recent years for its owner’s relationship with the sex offender Jeffrey Epstein and revelations about a misogynistic corporate culture that trafficked in sexism, sizeism and ageism.”

In 2020, scandal plagued the mall destination when The New York Times alleged that the company has a history of “misogyny, bullying and harassment, according to interviews with more than 30 current and former executives, employees, contractors and models, as well as court filings and other documents.”

A collective known as the Model Alliance issued a response, saying, “We stand with the courageous women who have come forward and shared their stories, despite fears of retaliation or harm to their careers.” De Cadenet signed the letter at the time, along with Christy Turlington Burns, Amber Valletta and more stars.

The year prior, E! News reported that the womenswear brand was facing numerous financial obstacles, including hefty competition from inclusive brands like Aerie and Savage x Fenty, which may have impacted its declining sales. 

The CFO of parent company L Brands, Stuart Burgdoerfer, announced in November 2019 that it was time for the Angels to hang up their bedazzled wings, because the televised fashion show was ending. “We’ll be communicating to customers, but nothing that I would say is similar in magnitude to the fashion show,” he said. “You can be sure we’ll be communicating with customers through lots of vehicles including social media and various, more current platforms, if you will.”
